“This baked Camembert is a delicious gooey mess that is packed with flavour. It can be enjoyed between 4 people. The macros do not include any accompanying crackers (essential to scoop up the melted mess), but I have a few on this site which you can try, so just run a search for ‘crackers’.. or if you are feeling SUPER CHEESY, look out for my nachos recipe too! There are also keto cracker recipes in my cookbooks.” – Monya

More on Drunken Baked Camembert with Garlic and Thyme…
Camembert baked in white wine, garlic, and thyme leaves is a delight! It combines the creamy richness of Camembert cheese with the aromatic flavours of white wine, garlic, and thyme. This dish offers a symphony of tastes and textures, especially since the gooey mess should be scooped up with keto crackers.

FOLLOW MONYA:
As the cheese heats up, it becomes irresistibly gooey and soft, transforming into a luscious, molten centre The wine infuses the cheese with its delicate flavours, while the garlic and thyme add depth and a fragrant herbal note.
The cheese’s velvety texture pairs perfectly with crispy crackers, creating a delightful contrast. This dish is not only a treat for the taste buds but also a feast for the senses. The combination of melted cheese, fragrant herbs, and wine creates a sensory experience that is both comforting and luxurious.

It is important to note that to maintain ketosis, it’s essential to track carbohydrate intake and ensure it aligns with your daily macro goals.

Drunken Baked Camembert with Garlic & Thyme
Per serving
Ingredients
- 250 g (8.8 oz) best-quality Camembert round
- 1 clove garlic, thinly sliced into shards
- 40 g (1.4 oz) dry white wine
- 2 sprigs of fresh thyme, leaves picked
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan oven). This is 200°C for conventional ovens (or 400°F / gas mark 6).
- Place the Camembert in a small baking dish (or Camembert baker if you have one). Peel and slice the garlic into very thin shards.

- Use a small paring knife to make many little incisions in the top of the cheese and slide the garlic pieces deep into them. It is important that the garlic is very thinly sliced because it won't be in the oven that long and you want to ensure any rawness is cooked out. Try insert them as deep as possible to prevent any exposed areas burning (like a few did in my pic!)
- Pour the white wine over the cheese into the dish and scatter over the picked thyme leaves. I always place mine onto a tray for easier removal.

- Bake in the oven for 22-24 minutes until the whole lot melts into a gooey mess. Serve scooped up with keto crackers (I have a few different types on Fats of Life... just run a search!)
